Get PDF with curl returns nothing

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 at 11:36am

I'm trying to get the pdf file via php using curl but I get nothing returned. When I do the same in Postman I get the PDF file. Here is my php code

$headers = array('Content-Type: application/json', 'Authorization: Basic '.$ApiKey, 'Accept: application/pdf', 'Connection: Keep-Alive');
$url = 'https://apps.e-signlive.com/api' . '/packages/'.$packageId.'/documents/'.$documentid.'/pdf';
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 60;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;

Can someone see something I missed? Thanks

Try something like this to see what error comes back:

$data = curl_exec($ch);
		
$err = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
		
if ($err)
{
	print_r($err);
}
else
{
	echo $data;
};

Let me know.

Thank you for the help. The problem was with the SSL . Simply adding this line fixed the problem curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
